Research paper thumbnail of Appearance of estrogen positive bilateral breast carcinoma with HER2 gene amplification in a patient with aplastic anemia

However, immunosuppressive therapy and androgenic steroids can promote development of solid tumors such as squamous carcinoma, head and neck tumors, adenocarcinoma of the stomach, hepatocarcinoma and breast carcinoma in long surviving patients with aplastic anemia. We present here a rare case of a 56-year-old woman in whom bilateral adenocarcinoma of the breast developed 11 years after the start of immunosuppressive and androgenic steroid therapy for aplastic anemia. Histological examination showed invasive ductal carcinoma with intense nuclear staining for estrogen receptors. Her2 immunohistochemistry was positive for 80% of stained cells, and chromogenic in situ hybridization showed a high level of HER2 gene amplification. This case indicated that a new therapy option is needed for estimation and evaluation to avoid the consequence of cancer occurrence.

Research paper thumbnail of Primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of urinary bladder with nine years later renal involvement and absence of systemic lymphoma: A case report

Also, late isolated renal manifestation of PBNHL is extremely unusual. We report a very rare type of extranodal B-SLL of bladder wall with extremely unusual late isolated renal involvement, clinically manifested by nephrotic syndrome and incipient renal failure. A case report A 56-year-old woman was presented with a solitary tumor of bladder wall, with history of dysuria and night sweating. A transvaginal needle biopsy of the tumor was performed, and diagnosis of primary extranodal B-SLL was made in the absence of bone marrow, lymph node, or blood involvement. She was treated with chemotherapy until the achievement of complete remission. Nine years later, she developed nephrotic syndrome. The renal biopsy revealed parenchymal lymphoma’s involvement associated with glomerular lesion. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the same imunophenotype of lymphoma cells like in bladder wall nine years ago. Restaging procedure showed no evidence of disease elsewhere. Conclusion To our knowledge, it is the first case of association of very rare primary bladder B-SLL with late isolated renal involvement.

Research paper thumbnail of HIV infection and the kidneys, Part II: Morphologic changes and their diagnostic significance

HIV-associated nephropathy is a unique pattern of sclerosing glomerulopathy and represents the most rapidly progressive form of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. This study involved the examination of 32 renal biopsies: by light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy, in order to determine the most accurate and reliable diagnostic procedure. The findings show that the most sensitive and accurate procedure is electron microscopy, capable of detecting specif-ic EM changes very early on, which is sufficient for the diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy.

Research paper thumbnail of Frequency dependent selection: I. Rare male phenomenon in D. subobscura dependent on the proportion of Amy genotypes and substrate composition

They reveal that mating occurs at random when proportions of prospective mates are equal, and that mating success of the males homozygous for Amy-locus genotypes (S/S and F/F) depends on their proportion. Regression analysis showed that the F/F males are sexually more active (have higher vigour) than S/S males. Rare male effect is one-sided and appears in F/F males that partake in more heterogamic matings. Comparison of the number of observed and expected homo-and heterogamic matings shows that homogamic matings are more frequent. Multifactorial analysis of variance shows that the number of matings are different for nine pairs of lines and four possible mating types (S
